i am using C .
i am doing print function, my input is a long word but i can't print the output properly
in my Printfunction should print string.
i am using structure so i am using ptr -> name
name is inside the structure.
How can i input a word in array then output by using printfunction

struct{
char name;
};
typedef.....
something like this but there is no problem
the problem is only the print there
should i use any string function
i just can't print the input by using printfunction

scanf("%c", &word[v]);

function(Dex ptr){
ptr -> name =word[50]
}

PRINTFunction{
printf("%s", ptr -> name);
}

how to solve it
Thanks.
The program run with no error
